3616/3620/3626 Spectralink Installation

This section contains information on the installation and configuration of the Avaya 3616/3620/3626
wireless phones on an IP Office Unit.
Information is routed from these phones to IP Office via an Avaya Voice Priority Processor (AVPP). The
AVPP uses Spectralink Voice Priority (SVP) as the Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism. SVP gives
preference to voice packets on the wireless medium, increasing the probability that all voice packets are
transmitted efficiently. The use of SVP requires the wireless Access Point to be SVP compatible.
Use of the 3616, 3620 and 3626 phones via an AVPP is supported on the IP Office IP403, IP406 (V1
and V2) and IP412 units. The Small Office Edition unit is able to support a built-in wireless access point.
However, this does not provide Quality of Service (QoS) support.

The setup for the 3616/3620/3626 wireless phones also requires the configuration of the AVPP and the
individual wireless phones. These instructions are provided in the IP Office Wireless Installation and
Configuration User Guide.

Access Points

Supplied by either Avaya or third party vendors, Access Points provide the connection between the wired
Ethernet LAN and the wireless (802.11b) LAN. Access Points must be positioned in all areas where
wireless phones will be used. The number and placement of Access Points will affect the coverage area
and capacity of the wireless system. Typically, the requirements for use of wireless phones are similar to
that of wireless data devices.
The wireless phones must connect to access points that use AVPP. For a complete list of access points
supported, go to:
